An alternative to the traditional roast Turkey for Thanksgiving consider a deep fried turkey. We don't do it often but sometimes we will do a deep fried turkey in addition to a traditional roast turkey if we are having a large gathering for the holidays. It only take about 45 minutes to cook a 15 lb. turkey (3 min. per pound). The one drawback is that it does take a lot of oil (about 3 gal. for a 20 lb. turkey). There are electric models now that can be used indoors which is especially helpful for us northerners who might have to deal with winter weather conditions and don't want to be outdoors using a propane turkey fryer. You can still have all the traditional dinner items to go along with your fried turkey including stuffing and gravy and the turkey is extremely moist and delicious!
